10.124.1
इ॒मं नो॑ अग्न॒ उप॑ य॒ज्ञमेहि॒ पञ्च॑यामं त्रि॒वृतं॑ स॒प्तत॑न्तुम् ।
असो॑ हव्य॒वाळु॒त नः॑ पुरो॒गा ज्योगे॒व दी॒र्घं तम॒ आश॑यिष्ठाः ॥
O Agni, come near to this our sacrifice, which has five watches, is threefold, and has seven threads. Be the bearer of oblations and our forerunner; you have quickly risen from the long darkness.
10.124.2
अदे॑वाद्दे॒वः प्र॒चता॒ गुहा॒ यन्प्र॒पश्य॑मानो अमृत॒त्वमे॑मि ।
शि॒वं यत्सन्त॒मशि॑वो॒ जहा॑मि॒ स्वात्स॒ख्यादर॑णीं॒ नाभि॑मेमि ॥
Becoming a god from a non-god, I go by hidden paths, looking toward immortality. Being auspicious, I abandon the inauspicious; leaving my own friendship, I go to the lower fire-stick and the navel.
10.124.3
पश्य॑न्न॒न्यस्या॒ अति॑थिं व॒याया॑ ऋ॒तस्य॒ धाम॒ वि मि॑मे पु॒रूणि॑ ।
शंसा॑मि पि॒त्रे असु॑राय॒ शेव॑मयज्ञि॒याद्य॒ज्ञियं॑ भा॒गमे॑मि ॥
Looking upon another's guest, I measure out the many abodes of cosmic order. I proclaim welfare to the father and to the lord; from the unsacrificial I go to the portion meant for sacrifice.
10.124.4
ब॒ह्वीः समा॑ अकरम॒न्तर॑स्मि॒न्निन्द्रं॑ वृणा॒नः पि॒तरं॑ जहामि ।
अ॒ग्निः सोमो॒ वरु॑ण॒स्ते च्य॑वन्ते प॒र्याव॑र्द्रा॒ष्ट्रं तद॑वाम्या॒यन् ॥
In this I have spent many years; choosing Indra, I abandon the father. Agni, Soma, and Varuṇa fall away; turning back, I obtain that realm, going forth.
10.124.5
निर्मा॑या उ॒ त्ये असु॑रा अभूव॒न्त्वं च॑ मा वरुण का॒मया॑से ।
ऋ॒तेन॑ राज॒न्ननृ॑तं विवि॒ञ्चन्मम॑ रा॒ष्ट्रस्याधि॑पत्य॒मेहि॑ ॥
Those demons who were free of deceit have become; and you, Varuṇa, desire me too. O king, separating falsehood by cosmic order, come hither to the lordship of my realm.
10.124.6
इ॒दं स्व॑रि॒दमिदा॑स वा॒मम॒यं प्र॑का॒श उ॒र्व॑न्तरि॑क्षम् ।
हना॑व वृ॒त्रं नि॒रेहि॑ सोम ह॒विष्ट्वा॒ सन्तं॑ ह॒विषा॑ यजाम ॥
This was the light of the sun; this indeed was; this luminous expanse, this broad midspace. Come, let us slay Vṛtra; O Soma, go forth. Being oblation, you we shall worship with oblation.
10.124.7
क॒विः क॑वि॒त्वा दि॒वि रू॒पमास॑ज॒दप्र॑भूती॒ वरु॑णो॒ निर॒पः सृ॑जत् ।
क्षेमं॑ कृण्वा॒ना जन॑यो॒ न सिन्ध॑व॒स्ता अ॑स्य॒ वर्णं॒ शुच॑यो भरिभ्रति ॥
The sage, by his skill, set form in the sky; boundless Varuṇa sent the waters forth. Like mothers making a secure dwelling, those pure streams take on his colour.
10.124.8
ता अ॑स्य॒ ज्येष्ठ॑मिन्द्रि॒यं स॑चन्ते॒ ता ई॒मा क्षे॑ति स्व॒धया॒ मद॑न्तीः ।
ता ईं॒ विशो॒ न राजा॑नं वृणा॒ना बी॑भ॒त्सुवो॒ अप॑ वृ॒त्राद॑तिष्ठन् ॥
They cling to his supreme power, rejoicing in their own strength as they move here. As peoples choose a king, the terrible streams stood aside from Vṛtra.
10.124.9
बी॒भ॒त्सूनां॑ स॒युजं॑ हं॒समा॑हुर॒पां दि॒व्यानां॑ स॒ख्ये चर॑न्तम् ।
अ॒नु॒ष्टुभ॒मनु॑ चर्चू॒र्यमा॑ण॒मिन्द्रं॒ नि चि॑क्युः क॒वयो॑ मनी॒षा ॥
They call the swan, the companion of the terrible ones, yoked together, who wanders in friendship with the divine waters. Following the anuṣṭubh metre, the seers recognized Indra, who is praised, by their insight.
